As the days passed, Meriya's determination only grew stronger. She knew she needed concrete evidence to expose Cody's deceit, so she began meticulously collecting proof of his actions, from screenshots of his malicious messages to witness statements from those who had heard him spreading rumors. But no matter how hard she tried, Cody seemed always one step ahead, managing to erase or manipulate every piece of evidence she found, leaving her with nothing but frustration and despair.

Meanwhile, Lara's growing distance and resentment towards Meriya only added to her emotional turmoil. Meriya watched helplessly as her friend's once warm demeanour turned cold, replaced by accusing glares and sharp words. It pained her to see Lara's trust slip away, but she knew she couldn't give up, not when so much was at stake.

One fateful day, as tensions reached a boiling point between Meriya and Lara, their long-standing friendship finally cracked under the weight of Cody's manipulation. Lara confronted Meriya, her voice trembling with anger and hurt as she accused her of betraying her trust by being with George behind her back.

In that moment of raw emotion, Meriya's defenses crumbled, her heart breaking as she realized the depth of Lara's pain. But before she could respond, Lara's words took a sharp turn, revealing a shocking truth that sent shockwaves through Meriya's world.

"Lara, I... I didn't mean to hurt you," Meriya stammered, her voice choked with emotion as she reached out to her friend, desperate to explain. But Lara's expression hardened, her eyes flashing with a mixture of betrayal and anger.

"Don't even bother, Meriya. I trusted you, and you threw it all away for George," Lara spat, her words like knives cutting through Meriya's soul. "But you know what? Maybe it's for the best. Maybe now you'll finally realize what it feels like to be abandoned and alone."

With those crushing words, Lara turned and walked away, leaving Meriya standing alone, her heart shattered into a million pieces
